So im finally looking to get some sq subs and get rid of my ssa dcon, shes a beast but im in the trying mood. Im looking to do 2 10's in a sealed box and i have some ideas but would like some input on what to do and what some good sq subs would be for this setup.
Right now i am looking at two different options;
2 Dayton Audio Ho 10's
2 OZ matrix elites 10's D2

How are these options and what other routes should i think about, i am willing to put about $300 into the subs combined and will need to buy a new amp for the subs too so those reccomendations would be much welcomed too! Thanks for looking!

the oz woofers are very nice and grimy has some for sale here,dont know much about the dayton's but alot of guys here like them.as for amp really depends on power and budget.the dc amps are 90% efficient so they would be a great choice if you want big power.if you are looking for smaller power , lets say 1000 watts or less ,look at arc ,zapco ,or audison and even zed

Re: SQ Sub route need some advice!!

I have been trying to decide on a single 12" SQ / SQL sub, myself.
A few of the ones I have been considering, that may be of some assistance to you:

JL Audio W3
RE ***
DC Level3
DD1510a
Skar VVX10
Dayton RSS265 HO

All are reasonably good for use in sealed enclosure, tho the EBP on the Dayton is notably higher than any of the others.

Re: SQ Sub route need some advice!!

i'd go either dc or dayton ,not a big jl fan ,re isn't that good anymore,and skar i'm told is more spl than sql,and dd steel basket and i dont like the sound of dd woofers,personally .

I just picked up a Dayton HF12 for super cheap. It will be my first 12. Ive ran everything but 12's.

do the HO's.
There is so much more to sq then just sounding good. The ho excels at all of them.

They don't localize easy. They blend well, and they don't distort very easy. I have pushed mine well into clipping and still didn't sound as bad as some spl subs I've owned.

Re: SQ Sub route need some advice!!

what would be a good amp to push 2 of either of these subs?

that depends entirely on budget

Re: SQ Sub route need some advice!!

lets say i dont want to spend more than 300 on an amp, but still want good quality.
